What led to that transition?

Some of it was just by luck and some of it was by circumstance.

I started out of law school in Chicago at Mayor Brown, huge firm.

Randomly, I followed a woman who I met at a wedding out to San Francisco.

She's my wife and the mother of my son.

I came out to Silicon Valley and worked with Oryx Emerging Companies Group.

They're first lawyers for Facebook, Video Egg, Mebo, Roku, Pandora, sort of the new web high flyers of that time.

Was there a particular skill set that maybe served you really well as a practicing attorney that actually worked against you as you started to build a 55-person team?
